I see that the default is to export all mailboxes, but when I specify the 
search string, I'm not allowed to do anything other than specify a mailbox:

archfe1:~ # dbmail-export -u joes -s "1:* FROM joes@" -o "/root/mail/test3"
Mailbox required if search is specified.

As well, how can I concoct a search string to match one of two different 
queries?  For example, I'm trying:

dbmail-export -u joes -m "mail" -r -s "1:* FROM joes@ OR TO joes@" -o 
"/root/mail/test3"
dbmail-export -u joes -m "mail" -r -s "1:* FROM OR TO joes@" -o 
"/root/mail/test3"
...but neither produces a non-zero size file
